BRD 253
For those of you who have Basebball Rules Difference, this situation is extensiviely covered in #253 Interference By: Batter-Runner:w/Catcher After: Collision at Plate Unpenalized. As Bob pointed out, if the B/R and the catcher are where they are supposed to be then we have nothing. Note 215 cites 1975 World Series call of Abrister bunt and Fisk collision resulting in great no call. However, if the runner hesitates for a brief period, then we have interference, Note 216 1991 NLCS where Hunter taps a roller in front of plate, hesitates while Slaught charged for the ball. Contact, intereference, Hunter is out.
